As this is a tech forum, I expect that the name that stands out is Radio Shack, and I do agree that that story is tragic. For me, as a long time New Yorker, the other name that stands out is Modell's. They were, for quite a long time, a fixture in New York City and beyond. Even for us not sports inclined, we still knew Modell's as a reliable retailer of sneakers throughout the years. Arguably, their Covid era bankruptcy was already the end, and this was just private equity puppeting the corpse. Nevertheless, it's a sad and nostalgic story.


Gotta go to Mo’s!


I sang that.


I thought you were going to say Pier 1 instead. Because I was scammed into buying wicker furniture circa 1994, I’m not surprised pier 1 is continuing buying a legacy of scams.


Your comment makes me wonder what ever happened to Crazy Eddie.


tax fraud.


Modell's was the go-to if your team won last night.


If it helps, Dick’s is from Binghamton.
